"We are very excited to share with you that Felix Harrison Krim, all 8 pounds, 10 ounces, and 21.5 inches of him, arrived today," they wrote on the Facebook page for the Lulu & Leo Fund, the nonprofit they formed in the wake of the deaths of two of their children.

"Nessie can't wait to welcome her baby brother," the couple write. "We are filled with many emotions as we look to the future, but the most important one is hope. We are very grateful to you all for your amazing support."

Still in the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center bed a month after police said she fatally stabbed Lucia, 6, and Leo Krim, 2, before she turned the knife on herself, Ortega had her plea entered on her behalf by her public-assistance lawyer, Valerie Van Leer-Greenberg.
